KD Tools (KD 3840) CamClamp - Universal Timing Gear Tool Review

I used this tool to help me replace a timing belt in a 1993 Mazda Protege DOHC. My purpose in purchasing this tool was to hold the cam sprockets in proper alignment while we install the timing belt. It failed to hold the sprockets. First,not all of the anchoring teeth of the tool meshed with the grooves of the sprocket. Some were out of line. Two, the tightening screws did not provide enough holding tension. This was the main fault. We aligned the sprockets to their proper settings,held them in place with wrenches, applied the clamp, remove the wrenches and with the clamp in place, the sprockets would move because the clamp could not hold the tension. This thing does not work for the Mazda.

Product Description:

Features and Benefits:

Patented Uni-Fit tooth design suits a large range of varying gear sizes - widest application of all other cam locking products on the market
Patented friction locking system allows infinite locking positions to suit most cam configurations - allows DOHC timing belt replacement to be performed by one person
Large scalloped locking knobs provide positive grip - prevents engine damage caused by mistiming
Grips the geared side of the Cam Sprocket - not prone to slippage like designs that grip the inside walls
Constructed of light weight, high strength, corrosive resistant materials

Specifically designed to retain sprocket wheels, while maintaining proper timing during belt service. This is critical since the timing of Dual Overhead Systems is time consuming and expensive if the cams get out of position during belt service. The KDT3840 works on both Dual and Quad systems by gripping the geared side of the Cam sprocket.
